I once had the misfortune of seeing some sort of advertisement showing two cars humping. There was a tan SUV and some other car. It was part of a film. It was the most horrifying ad for a car ever and man, do I need some brain bleach. I'm not sure this qualifies, since it has car on car and no people, but... I found it somewhere on this wiki. :(

Top Gear, anyone? Canon features car-licking, jokes about getting aroused by looking at cars, implied masturbating over pictures of cars, talk of marrying cars, and the legendary Richard Hammond/Oliver romance, featuring "It's real, he loves me, and he's coming home!" The fandom features (among other things) fic of the Richard/Oliver and Jeremy/Bugatti Veyron type.

Tacitus: Sorry 'bout dat, chief. I thought I tried to direct the pic to the Portal page, but it can take me a few tries just to get a normal link working...

Farseer Lolotea: Does Thomas Disch's piece "The Shirt's Tale, the Shorts' Story" count? (Everyone in the story is a piece of clothing, but I'd call it iffy since they're not actually inanimate...then again, Cars is on this page.) How about Shel Silverstein's poem "The Bagpipe Who Didn't Say No?"

And the souls of their pilot's dead mother. Thus possibly making it worse.

Don't forget Ritsuko/Magi

Which is particularly disturbing, since Magi is derived from her mother's personality, which makes it kind of incestful.

Just like shipping Pilot/Eva!

Eva is one of the only works of fiction which can, itself be said to have an Oedipus complex.

The saddest part of those Gary hand ships? In the context they were originally created in (TPM Shippers Community forum, circa mid 2001), they were given those names as satire, and they were meant to actually refer to an actual platonic love, being largely inspired by one crack fic written by a well known shipper of the time, not to any. It was a huge in-joke to a very small subgroup of the shipping fandom, that's long since been forgotten with so many of the shippers of the time having moved on.

Suggested nothing: have you seen the opening credits? The shot with Winry sitting in bed, looking rather well-shagged, and the wrench beside her? That there is proof, my friends.

That must be the single greatest ship ever. It sounds too cute not to be.

Oh, god... Now I can't get the idea of Bardiche and Raging Heart blushing any time Nanoha and Fate are near one another out of my head! Too Cute!

This Troper dissents after watching too much of Episode 12 of Nanoha, wherein Fate practically cuddles with Bardiche, and declares that Fate×Bardiche is the one true Cargo Ship.

This Troper once saw a forum signature that supported Shirou/Obvious, Shiki/Death, and Shiki/Death/Shirou, the latter which apparently involves Shirou taking death for granted, and Shiki insisting death has more to offer than "people die when they are killed"

Black Pearl/Kraken OTP. Locked in a tender embrace as they sink into the depths....

Also can't forget Jack and his hat.

And Jack/that rock he licked. Although it might count as Jack/Calypso by very long proxy.

This editor sees your AT-AT humping and raises you a female (yes, female) AT-AT being tied up by snowspeeder tow-cables. Piloted by furries. Don't tell me you missed the bondage implications of the Hoth battle!

Suddenly I have questions about the vibrosword — a popular weapon amongst non-Jedi.

Vibro edges uses very high frequency, so in a best-case imagine a Sonicare toothbrush.

It's actually explained in the EU book "Dark Rendezvous" that some lightsabers—particularly those given to Padawans—have settings, with the lowest one not cutting or hurting at all but merely stinging. If a Jedi is a bit of a masochist, one has to wonder...

"Reluctantly, Jaypaw slid his paws from the branch. His pads felt warm where he had been touching it." "His paws felt heavy and unease flickered in his chest. Leaving the stick felt wrong. He wanted to understand why. I'll be back, he promised." "He hadn't realized that they had come this far around the lake. His paws tingled with excitement. The stick." "He wanted to run his paws over it again, feel the scars in its smooth surface. His pads felt warm as they stroked it, his heart suddenly as full as a well-fed belly." "The leaves swished like waves upon a shore. But Jaypaw hardly heard them. His ears were filled with whispering. His claws itched as he imagined the earthy scent of the stick...." "Jaypaw sat up. His paws ached to be outside. He wanted to touch the stick once more." "He lashed his tail, excited by the stormy weather and the thought of touching the stick once more." "His heart began to pound. He was certain it was gone, and not just because he couldn't scent it. There was a dark emptiness in his chest that told him the stick was no longer here." Yeah.

Taken even further. From shipping characters and objects, to shipping characters and concepts. Like Lionblaze/Battle, Hollyleaf/Warrior Code (oh so very canon), and Tigerstar/Power and Bloodshed (actually canon depending on your interpretation of a line in the manga).

This troper recalls a fic where Pollution subliminates his desire for Crowley by molesting the Bentley several times, much to Crowley's disgust and dismay. eventually Crowley catches him and makes a deal to have sex with him if he promises never to touch the Bentley again. The next day they realize it was a horrible mistake and Pollution pines for the Bentley from afar.

Links. Good heavens, links!

It can also be paired with Dean and considering his utter devotion to it/her, it's not a massive stretch of the imagination practically canon.

Does this make the scene where he smashes it up a case of domestic abuse?

Sam briefly BECOMING the Impala in canon has arguably crossed the Dean/Impala 'ship into Wincest territory.

A malevolent AI orgy with all of the abovementioned as participants. That way, everyone's happy!

I must say that seeing this page has made me realize just how often the "malevolent AI" character type is used...

And then AM rapes (somehow), dismantles, and destroys them all at once with near omnipotent power, only to rage for eternity over how quickly he did so and having no more playmates as a result. Because that's just how Badass Ax-CrazyWangsty he is.

GLaDOS and Sovereign. The reasons for this ship are far beyond your feeble comprehension. This conversation is over.

This list isn't complete without GLaDOS and your President, John Henry Eden. President of America, President of her heart.

DO YOU MORTALS FEEL I, THE MIGHTY ADBOT, IS UNWORTHY OF A POSITION ON THIS LIST?

Dorothy from Galerians needs love too! It can't be easy being a single mother and an evil computer. GLaDOS, Dorothy and SHODAN (just because she and dorothy are so alike) would be perfect...as perfect as three evil/insane computers in a lesbian relationship can be that is.

Bah, GLaDOS/Venjix. She totally goes for the kind of guy who not only nukes the world, but then toys playfully with the survivors like a kitty.

The Computer doesn't care if GLaDOS and Computer are ship, Computer just wants to be friends, friendship is mandatory. Failure to be friends is treason. Treason is punishable by summary execution. Have a nice day.

Let's not mince words. She asks him to touch her access port. She even offers to deactivate her limbs while it happens.

Where the heck did that come from?

Probably the manga adaptations. The one for Chain of Memories was particularly heavy on the Rule of Funny.

Pffft, Xemnas/Kingdom Hearts is so canon it hurts. Xemnas does NOTHING but stand on top of that big damn building and reach out to the heart-moon in the sky, calling out its name, in almost every cutscene he's in. If that's not proof, this troper doesn't know what is.

Pshaw, that's NOTHING compared to Xehanort and his obvious door fetish. Seriously, when is the guy NOT talking about a door?

The other 99% of the time, he's talking about darkness. Seriously, this guy to all the distance with darkness. He even allowed himself to be enveloped by darkness as he left Hollow Bastion. Even one of the Princesses of Heart noticed his disturbed fetish with it.

"Oh giant weaponised Key. I think you're the only one who really understands me" Maybe she and Ishtar could double date?

This troper will never be able to watch anyone ride it again without thinking the riders are giving it a free lap dance. By the way, "She claims to believe they share a fulfilling physical and spiritual relationship and does not get jealous when other people ride it." Lucky guy...?

So wait, a guy can get married to a rollercoaster, but gay people can't marry each other?

This stuff looks legitimate, but whoever wrote it forgot to way where it was from.

Khazzid'hea ("Cutter") the sentient sword and Drizzt Do'Urden. Note that this is canonical, if only one-sided. Khazzid'hea desired to be wielded by the greatest warrior, and when Drizzt defeated its previous owner, was disappointed when he gave it to his friend Catti-brie, as he preferred the scimitar. It even took control of its wielder, Catti-brie, (with whom Drizzt had not inconsiderable sexual tension) and sent her to his room wearing a flimsy nightdress.

No one's said anything about Zhaodburns? Really?

Close Other

We need that Uncanny Valley graph again to compare how it looks normally and how it looks after human is isolated from other human beings quite a bit.
